What are you taking about, Fisher was our OC and was a terrific water boy for BOB. I'm sure Fisher knew what he was getting into and probably learned a lot from BOB wrt his scheme.

LOL! I hate when sports writers do that. 50/50 means he basically has no idea and can claim to be right no matter the outcome.
That would be the funniest story of the year! Would be soooo much fun to watch!
You could swap "Michigan" for "Penn State" and be talking about Franklin.
Exactly, and the Franklin-Bots think that 1 big win from 6 seasons ago should trump the mess that Franklin has overseen the past two seasons.
Despite what you homers think, Bill O’Brien is a hell of a coach. 10 wins with 55 scholarships and a bunch of “fahkers” at PSU . 4 years making the playoffs in Houston, two of which with trash qb’s. The perfect coach for psu at the time of the infractions.
Are you talking about the same Franklin that lost to Illinois?
Marsha 24, Rip E to Clown PA, and about 7 others. That's all that's left, the rest have been in exile. Lol.
Difference is he's a proven winner in the NFL. But don't be confused by the facts.
I don’t think he ever won 10 games (8-4 and 7-5, IIRC), but your point stands.
Did I miss something? I only mentioned Michigan was interested if Harbaugh walked. At no time did I say he was a poor coach.
He's okay. He's become a multi millionaire and transitioned from a journeyman assistant football coach to a legend since rubbing against Brady and Belichick.
Rumor moving up and now NBC/ProFootballtalk site saying it will happen:

Four years ago, the worst-kept secret in the NFL was that the Raiders will hire Jon Gruden to be the team’s head coach. In the upcoming interview/hiring cycle, the worst-kept secret in the NFL could become that the Raiders will hire Jim Harbaugh as the permanent replacement for Gruden.
For now, buzz is building in league circles that team owner Mark Davis wants, and will get, the former 49ers and current Michigan coach.

OSUs defensive problems start at the top. Day is an OC by trade and when OCs become HC and retain play calling duties, it tends to lead to weaker defenses.
Day overreacted and didn't react enough to the Oregon game. Demoting Coombs, but wanting him to continue coaching and recruiting DBs was not the best move in my book.
The fact that seemingly 10 top 100 DL had trouble with the run against all your opponents who focus on running the ball was a much bigger issue than the 1 high vs 2 high safety argument.
Didn't you have to replace all your starting LBs? That usually shows up early in the season too.
But with NIL how much recruiting does he need to do? Just "show them the money" and his ability to coach and get them to the NFL Thats pretty much what recruiting has turned into.
Disagree. The Michy OL beat the snot out of the Buckeyes. Thats why they lost the game.
And this just in...but both teams had to play in the same weather and that includes us and MSU this year and 4 years ago.
Ohio state's defense was terrible against Alabama in the national championship game a year ago. It kept getting burned by the same play over and over with no adjustments. Exactly the same thing happened in the Oregon game. Obviously Combs, who is a very decent human being and had done very well when limited to coaching the defensive backs, was in way over his head. The defense played substantially better after he was relieved and didn't have the same problems of getting burned by the same play over and over again.
When Day was first hired and chose his own defensive coordinator unrelated to Ohio State, he chose Jeff Hafley who was a home run. Hafley went to Boston college and has been doing a good job.
Careful what you wish for. O’Brien was doing just fine recruiting considering the scandal and sanctions. He certainly knows what he is doing regarding offense.
Who wasn't terrible against that '20 Bama offense? I understand that they are the team to beat and moves have to be made, but if that feeling lingered over from the Bama game Coombs should have been let go January '21.
Day was on the coaching staff at SF with Hafley, so I'm not sure what your unrelated to OSU comment means. He hired a guy who had success there previously and had a successful stint in the NFL.
Key difference I see is Hafley had a defense recruited by Meyer. Coombs had mostly Day recruits this year.
So once word was out he was moving the bidding wars began. Gonna be interesting to see what he gets and from whom.
Wait the Raiders don't want our superstar $8M a year coach? I AM SHOCKED!Could be bunk but smoke is rising:
Report: Jim Harbaugh to Be Named Next Head Coach of the LV Raiders
Honestly I find it surprising he would leave Michigan given the year he had. But maybe, like Brian Kelly, realized he has reached the peak of what Michigan can be. I've talked to some friends who are Michigan alumni and they really aren't surprised, don't blame him one bit. Apparently the...www.elevenwarriors.com
Key difference was that OSU defense couldn't make adjustment to offensive plays that worked. At Oregon, it ran an against the grain sweep 3 times and and 3 times Oregon scored without anyone even touching the runner. Awful coaching. Alabama put a receiver in the backfield about 3 or 4 times and OSU never came close to adjusting to the play and Alabama easily scored 2 or 3 times on the same play. Alabama was a great team, but OSU's putrid defensive coaching didn't even give them a puncher's chance.
Combs was promoted up because of the great job he did with DBs like Lattimore, Ward, Ukudah and Jordan Fuller. Hope was he could continue the great recruiting with DBs and handle the defense. He clearly couldn't. A mistake, but an understandable mistake.
